"Child is under treatment and is fine now. Our priority was his safety, his parents work as peons and we thought it will be tough for them, so we took him to hospital by ourselves. We are told by the child that a 'Didi' took hold of him and attacked him with a sharp object," the principal of the school told news agency ANI.

Hrithik's father said that no FIR has been filed so far.

"School authority says they will file an FIR but nothing but it hasn't been done yet. My child says he was attacked by a girl," he said.
